On today’s episode of Connect FM, hosts Vijay Saini and Vasu Kumar bring you two big stories: a former municipal employee in Surrey, BC charged with defrauding the city of roughly $2.5 million — a major breach of public trust — and a fresh look at whether Metro Vancouver’s many municipalities should merge to streamline services, reduce costs and improve regional planning.
